For simplicity this beats having to install software from an accompanying CD in order to get the same features.

It seems when manufacturers adopt standard protocols or are more open about the protocols and interfaces they do use the pace of development increases dramatically.
Oh yes, I keep remarking that I've probably not compiled a kernel for around 5 years as those that are supplied with most distros do everything I want. I have had to compile additional modules still but even so I remember when first playing with Linux over 10 years ago and for years after that having to build kernels to get even obvious bits of hardware into a working state.
